The Republic Ep115: Biocare...Because They Care

I don’t think the VO for new classes will be as much of a problem as some might think. Presuming that the new classes would be similar to current ones, such as the much requested Imperial Trooper and Republic SIS Agent – at lot of the VO can be recycled for the new storyline quests if they were to be implemented. When you think about it, all you would really need is new starter zones.

The problem that arises is how much of the new content in an expansion would focus on the new classes as opposed to continuing the storyline for the current classes. It seems to me there are more players interested in seeing Chapters 4-6 than starting fresh with all new classes and running through the Prologue and Chapters 1-3 again. At the very least, even with new classes, I would expect they would have to include at least Chapter 4 in the Expansion as well, which means creating a whole new starter world for the new classes as well as 5 Chapters (Prologue + 1 to 4) worth of class storyline to ensure all classes at the end of the expansion are at the same point in time.
